QUOTE (WHarris1 @ Aug 6, 2009 -> 03:20 PM) To let a pitcher like Ervin practically have a quality start against is embarrassing Its a perfect storm of stupidity. We have a pitcher who cannot throw strikes going against us, so what do we do. Hack away. Now that we are down by a few runs, patience = none.

Dotel after the pickoff.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Aug 6, 2009 -> 03:06 PM) As lousy as it is to lose, we just have to keep winning series. Pretty much every series. We'll be 3 back in the loss column v. Detroit unless we rally today. Got to take 2 of 3 vs. Cleveland. When you win the first couple of games in a series you really need to start stepping on the necks of some of these teams. This is not a tip your cap game. This is our DH in RF forgetting how many outs there are, some kicking the ball around, some throwing meatballs mixed n with some I want to go home situational hitting and poof you have the turd sandwich we see today.

I thought the reason we picked up Castro was that he offered us a better offensive catcher for AJs day off. Basically we got a latin version of the same crappy back up catcher we have had here for years.

QUOTE (dielac @ Aug 6, 2009 -> 01:50 PM) Ozzie shouldn't of sent him with 1 out, Santana sucking, and the top of the order up. We are not the f***ing angels, stop dreaming Guillen. Attempting to Steal 3rd base with a Lefty up in the box is dumb unless you are Carl Crawford or the catcher is AJ.

Okay Ozzie, stop with the crazy outs on the basepaths. This is the american league. Taking men from scoring position and placing them on the bench is stupid.

Can't we fire one of these suckers to go see it. I would rather risk R2/D2 first.

Jozy Altidore is going to be in the Premier League this season on loan to Hull City per his twitter.

The FAA has issued a no fly zone for a 5 mile radius around the Cell so that no aircraft are brought down by Beckham shots.

QUOTE (EvilJester99 @ Aug 4, 2009 -> 09:55 PM) Man Joe West if f***ing terrible. The Angels must of bribed him with double jelly donuts to get that zone for their pitchers.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Aug 4, 2009 -> 03:41 PM) By that point he'll own the team too. And the Bulls. And the Hawks. And he'll turn around the Phoenix Coyotes somehow.

QUOTE (Special K @ Aug 4, 2009 -> 02:02 PM) False Statement. He's good, but when Crede was at his best he hit .285 with about 30 hrs and 95 RBIs, not to mention I think he was pretty good at 3b too. Not saying Beckham can't/won't do it, because I know he will, but let's not forget our roots here, Crede is the measuring stick. He had an OPS+ that year of 107. Beckham is at 120 right now. Lets not get goofy about the offensive prowess of Joe. Statues, HOF, pssh. Wait till the park is named after him. Welcome to Bacon Field, home of Your Chicago Whitesox.

QUOTE (RME JICO @ Aug 3, 2009 -> 04:57 PM) Ouch. http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/news/story?id=4374407 That trade almost looks like they both should've stayed put. A pitcher under Dusty Baker has an arm injury. Thats impossible.

QUOTE (elrockinMT @ Aug 2, 2009 -> 09:31 PM) Getz should command some attention also For ROY? Why? He is having a nice season, but he isn't the best rookie on his own team nevermind the league.

The ultimate in rarities. AJ versus Rivera resulting in a walk. If you predicted that, buy a lottery ticket.

QUOTE (Brian @ Aug 2, 2009 -> 04:09 PM) Nix, when he actually fields a ground ball, sure does take his time throwing to first. He has a double tap into his mitt when he gets the ball over at SS before he throws. You can do that at 2nd, its hard to do that at SS.

First impressions. His ball moves pretty well and has some sink on it. Considering that was his MLB debut, if his control is decent he could be effective.

Hopefully Dye becomes a DH next year. His defense is god awful.

QUOTE (MexSoxFan#1 @ Aug 2, 2009 -> 03:40 PM) Couldnt they have picked a better song for Beckham than that lame ass 80's crap song? Its been his walk up music for a while, in the minors and when he was at Georgia.

QUOTE (jphat007 @ Aug 2, 2009 -> 01:59 PM) I hope Dye stops sucking soon. That didn't suck. Tie game.

Beckham is an RBI machine. He has the capability to make contact with 2 strikes with men on. What a hitter.

Nix needs to get his glove going again.

QUOTE (Thunderbolt @ Jul 28, 2009 -> 11:48 PM) I hope we don't panic and give Fields up for little return. What aging vet has been DFA'd in the last week. Thats my bet.

Can someone get Wise drunk so he can request a trade as well. How the f*** can we get rid of both BA and Fields and Wise is still on this team. Wise is beyond OMIT status now. We are not talking pictures, we are talking video with multiple angles. It has to be the only logical reason that Wise is earning a check for someone outside of the Newark Bears.

Colon pitches one start and has a sore elbow. DFA his ass now. Put Richard back in the rotation.
